The 3 Best Netflix Originals You Never Heard Of

Ever since Netflix brought streaming into the mainstream, Netflix has became an astronomical success. This gave Netflix the resources to not only be a distributor of other companies' content, but to make content of their own. This brought to life well-known Netflix Originals such as "Orange is the New Black", "Narcos", and "House of Cards." But some Netflix Originals seep into the underbelly of Netflix, rarely seen. But fear not! Here are five great Netflix original series to waste your time wisely.


1. Black Mirror

A technological twist on anthology television series like The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror offers a satirical look on today's world and our relationship with technology. The episodes feel like cautionary tales on what would happen if the world's love for tech got completely skewed in the wrong direction. Every aspect of the show is top-notch from writing to acting to cinematography. Started on Britain's Channel 4, Netflix took the reigns after it was canceled and kept the show alive and odder than ever.


2. Sense8

From the minds of the bounder-breaking Wachowskis (The Matrix, V for Vendetta) comes science-fiction show Sense8. It deals with eight individuals from all over the world who share a mental and emotional connection. The show explores issues such as gender, identity, sexuality, and religion. The only short-coming of the series, is that there's only one season on Netflix.


3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is a comedy show that never stops dishing out the laughter. The premise is wild, but also genius. Ellie Kemper, of "The Office" fame, stars as Kimmy Schmidt. Schmidt is a 29-year-old woman who, after being rescued from an underground Doomsday cult after being kidnapped 15 years ago, adjusts to the culture shock of living in modern day New York City. If you're looking for a laugh, then this show is the place to find it.

Netflix has thousands of tv shows and movies on its platform. It can be hard to find a gem to put your time into! Hopefully this list has given you a good, quality place to indulge in the Netflix catalog!

Happy Binge-Watching!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
